A few weeks ago, my buddy Jim, over at Habana House, said a friend of his had dropped off a couple of his BBQ sauces at the shop, for us to try out. I'd been waiting for a time when several of us were together, so when we got together on Thursday to taste test the pulled pork from Meyer's, it seemed like a good time to break out the sauces. Cousin Leroy dropped off two of his five sauces: Spicy and Mustard Mop. We tried each one with bread and crackers, since the pulled pork was already mixed with sauce. Here's what folks had to say about Cousin Leroy's sauces, along with some pics:

I've been putting it off, but I finally entered the addresses of everyone who signed up at Gettin' Sauced! to be on our email list. Well, everyone except the ones whose email addresses I couldn't decipher. If you want to stay current (via occasional email) on what we're doing, events we're planning, deals/discounts/giveaways, etc., email me your email address.

Last Thursday evening, my friend Gregg Meyer, of Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse, stopped by the house with a load of pulled pork and buns for us to taste test. Meyer's is thinking of adding pulled pork to their menu and wanted some thoughts on what they've cooked up thus far. So, we tasted, jotted down our comments, and made a little party out of it.
